Sincronias entre a medicina grega e o pensamento filosófico: os pré-socráticos e Nietzsche

Abstract

This research, entitled “Synchronies between Greek Medicine and Philosophical Thought: The Pre-Socratics and Nietzsche”, seeks to explore the relationship between philosophy and medicine, based on the assumption that this connection can be elucidated by investigating its roots in Ancient Greece. The research will be structured in two main moments: first, the relationship between philosophy and medicine in Greek Antiquity will be analyzed, focusing on pre-Socratic thought and the Corpus Hippocraticum, which underpins Hippocratic medicine; second, the reception of this relationship in Friedrich Nietzsche’s thought will be investigated, especially his reflections on the body, health and illness, and his critique of Socratic rationalism. These two moments aim to provide an in-depth understanding of the origins of this relationship and its resignification in contemporary philosophy.
